Vendor Events: Effective Booth Display Ideas

Since, I began my vendor event planning business it has become ever more apparent that booth display is a huge part of getting customer's to your booth and interested in your product.  So, I have brought together a few of the best ideas I found on the web for your inspiration to help you at your next vendor event.
Looking for the right vendor event for your business is also a huge part of the process.   Effective, booth display is key to getting sales.
Here is what I look for when I audition vendors for my events.  Customer response, display presentation, communication skills, compliance with my rules, no complaining, no trying to change the way I want things run, paying on time, turning in application and samples on time etc....You can find out more about being a vendor with Markets of Sunshine on my Advertise With Us page, click here.

October Happenings: Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Free Cocoa Cola Life

October is a happening month around the nation.  First, it's breast cancer awareness month and I've joined Florida Hospital's Pink Army and hope to do some events with them and my vendors to support this great cause.  Next, Cocoa Cola is introducing a new flavor called Cocoa Cola Life.  It is sweetened with cane sugar and stevia leaf.  Fresh Market is giving out free samples of Cocoa Cola Life on 9/13 in four states this month at select locations.  Click here to see the list of states and locations.  Florida is on the list!  

Our first Daily City Food Truck Bazaar event in Orange City last night was a huge success for all of us!  I had two vendors participate with my tent promoting Lyme Disease Awareness and giving out free samples of handmade products from Markets of Sunshine vendors.  
The Tower Garden was a huge success and many were excited to learn about the product and even bought one on the spot! Visit her on her website, click here.
One of the food truck vendors, The Swat Mobile Food Truck, came over and learned about our company and mission.  They are going to help promote us on their Facebook page.  Woot!  Thank you!  Please, like them on Facebook, click here.
